    摘要: Various improvements for video production switchers are disclosed. In a user input module, a Link button is operable to link key functions with a user controllable input device. A multicolor lighting arrangement may be provided, and possibly calibrated, for illuminating each button of a switcher with a controllable color and/or intensity. In an improved Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) scheme, a PWM output is dependent on a pseudo-random number and a threshold. A display on a keyer module may be used to provide indications of a key source and type currently associated with the keyer module. A switcher menu system may be enhanced by providing a first display for accessing a full menu system, and a second display for accessing at least a portion of the full menu system. In a modular switcher panel, a panel structure carries button modules, at least one of which is interchangeable without displacing other button modules.

    摘要: A method, system, and device for generating a clean clipping signal α for a chromakey function or a video composition, including identifying background colors formed by a solid color background, shadows cast by still and moving subjects, a non-uniform reflection caused by spot lighting and non-flat backdrop or flaw wall, and translucent foreground objects, with a 3D volume in a 3D color space; determining parameters defining same by using a dirty alpha α; generating a clean clipping signal αshd background colors, and a clean clipping signal αtsl for translucency colors; identifying foreground colors formed by the still and moving subjects with a 3D volume in a 3D color space; classifying colors into transition colors; and generating an area map for mapping each pixel into background, shadow, translucent, foreground, and transition areas.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for electronic hardware resource management in video processing are provided. A hybrid filter is controllable to apply either Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filtering or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filtering for vertical filtering of a video image during a resizing process. A scale factor by which the video image is to be resized in the resizing process is determined, and the hybrid filter is controlled to apply FIR filtering for the vertical filtering where the determined scale factor satisfies a first condition relative to a threshold value ST or to apply IIR filtering for the vertical filtering where the determined scale factor satisfies a second condition relative to the threshold value ST. The first and second conditions are different and exclusive, such that only one type of filtering is applied. This hybrid filtering approach uses each type of filtering to avoid defects of the other.
